History

Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became a territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Consejo (which was Concejo) barrio and Jaguas (which was Jagua) barrio was 1,162.[12]
